Tortellini and Spinach Soup

    

    Chicken broth is a common ingredient in many meals.  If you don't have homemade chicken broth you can substitute with chicken bouillon.

     Chicken bouillon has a long shelf life therefore its easy to keep on hand.  Generally, each bouillon cube, added to one cup of water makes one cup of broth depending on your taste preference. 

     Its been cold here in Vaughan Ontario so this weekend I made my family tortellini and spinach soup.  To speed the process, I used frozen tortellini and bouillon cubes.  The tortellini are a heavy pasta so the soup was a meal in itself, I just added a garden salad and dinner was done.

Ingredients:

1 bag frozen tortellini (cheese)
2 cups baby spinach leaves
4 cups chicken broth
3 bouillon cubes (chicken flavor)

Directions:

In a medium sauce pan bring water to a boil and add bouillon cubes to boiling water, reduce heat to medium.

Add spinach and tortellini to broth simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Serve and add grated cheese if desired.

Enjoy!!
